The Conjuring spin-off movie set for October

Warner Bros has confirmed that Annabelle, the spin-off from The Conjuring, will land in October...

Ahead of a full sequel to The Conjuring, Warner Bros - through its New Line arm - has also got a spin-off from the hit movie on the way. As such, it's been announced that Annabelle is going to be released this coming October.

The film has an exact US release date of October 3rd (which puts it up against David Fincher's take on Gone Girl), and we'd expect it around the same time in the UK (although its UK date hasn't been confirmed yet).

Annabelle stars Annabelle Wallis and Ward Horton, and is directed by John Leonetti (who was cinematographer on The Conjuring). James Wan is executive producer, and Gary Gauberman has penned the script.
